It starts one month
after Star Trek Nemesis at the Starfleet Academy where Doctor Crusher from Starfleet
Medical is visiting the new Academy Admiral, Jean-Luc Picard. She tells him that
through a new sensor prototype unusual information was found on B4's memories.
The memories came from Doctor Soogn and were meant for Data. They also found out
that B4 is not a prototype as originally thought. Doctor Soong built B4 later
than Data and only for the purpose of protecting Data, at any cost.

B4
received much information from Data and it seemed that he integrated Picard in
his protection program too, or he knew what Data would do in that situation and
that there was only one way to fulfill his mission to protect Data, sacrifice
himself. It was not found out how or when B4 changed position with Data, but one
thing is sure, B4 and not Data was destroyed with the Scimitar.

After
the danger was over, B4 should have sent a signal to Data to reactivate his personality,
but through the big explosion this signal never reached Data, so his personality
is still deactivated and he is working with the B4 transferred personality. Only
two devices are able to reactivate Data, one of them was destroyed with B4. The
other one Data owned a long time ago, but it was forgotten on board of the Enterprise-D.

Admiral
Janeway from Starfleet headquarters transfers the command of the Enterprise-E
back to Admiral Picard for this special mission: To fly back to his old ship on
Veridian 3 to find the device. Unfortunately the Veridian System is owned by the
Breen since the Dominion war, and now a very dangerous area. Ambassador Spock
heard about this mission through some special ways and wants to use this unique
chance to bring the mortal remnants of Captain Kirk back to Earth. Because the
Enterprise isn't completely repaired and only has a full crew with the addition
of several cadets, three other ships escort them; one of them is the Titan of
Captain Riker.

On the way to the Veridian system a distress
call is received and the Titan has to find out where it is coming from. They discover
some sort of temporal anomaly where Captain Sulus Excelsior is caught. Because
of different reasons Commander Uhura and Commander Chekov are aboard the Excelsior
also. After they heard that Kirk was found and Spock wants to bring his mortal
remnants back to Earth, they decided to join this mission, but they have to leave
the damaged Excelsior behind for now and fly with the Titan.

That's
enough story preview ;)
